Re: Miss fire when climing hill

P0300 DTC along with a flashing SES light is almost always caused by secondary ignition failures: Spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil. Always use AC Delco plugs, cap and rotor in the 4.3L, they are very fussy. Put a dab of silicone dielectric grease on each terminal, inside and out, of the distributor cap. Post your results.
